History
Legio III Rapax was raised in Burdigala, Aquitania in 45 BC by Gnaeus Domitius Calvinus, and it was smaller than most other legions. It was not a major party in the War of the Second Triumvirate's early stages, as it was kept in southwestern France to prevent a rebellion from breaking out in the region.
